The nursery children have been learning how to look after the birds in winter.
They have been watching to see the different kinds of birds that come to eat their bird cake.
They have seen robins, blackbirds, pigeons and blue tits.
This week they have been learning “The north wind shall blow” and have been busy making robins for the wall.
We have experienced a whole range of weather over the last few weeks!
We have learnt about the weather symbols, different devices to measure the weather, the Beaufort scale and have our own weather forecast!
Next week we will be looking at ice and frost…
At Nursery last week we were learning about Robert Burns.
Primary 5/6/7 have been continuining to learn about podcasting. This week they learned how to edit and save podcasts. Their task was to create a radio show which debated the topic of
